Osteochondritis dissecans of the shoulder joint was treated by arthroscopy in 126 dogs. Twenty-four dogs had bilateral surgery, making a total of 150 joints treated. The OCD flaps were removed in small pieces through the cannula or in a single piece through a stab incision. The lameness resolved completely within seven-60 days following arthroscopy in 137 out of 150 affected limbs. Within a subset of 47 dogs with unilateral OCD, it was found that lesions located on the caudo-medial region of the humeral head had a better functional outcome than those lesions located in the caudo-central region of the humeral head.
对126只犬的肩关节剥脱性骨软骨炎进行了关节镜治疗。24只犬接受了双侧手术，共治疗150个关节。通过套管将骨软骨炎瓣切成小块取出，或通过小切口整块取出。150只患肢中，137只在关节镜检查后7 - 60天内跛行完全消失。在47只单侧骨软骨炎犬的亚组中发现，位于肱骨头后内侧区域的病变功能预后比位于肱骨头后中央区域的病变更好。
